Looks good thus far! How do you like the vinyl tracks?

I threW them away and went with resin AM.

Started working on this again…

Looking good. I love this kit; I think it’s Tamiya at their best. However, the grey and green scheme, as per the box, which I note you haven’t used, is completely spurious. It’s based on a photo in Panzer Colours 1, which gives these colours. However, we know for a fact that the vehicle in that photo belonged to SS Pz Art Regt 9 (“Hohenstaufen” division) and that it was pictured in the winter of 1943-4 in Northern France, so is almost certainly Dunkelgelb and green or brown or both. We even know the name of the commander, SS Sturmann Hartmann!

I have a scheme I’m thinking of based on photos from the Nuts and Bolt book.

Done.
Tracks don’t for the best, they are resin and I think are for the Dragon Pz IIs





Kit is ok, quite a few details are missing, but it’s a '90’s kit

Looks pretty damn good. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

Thanks, I think that I’ve added the small stuff as much as I can.
